1. EIGHT MILES HIGH (LONG VERSION)

Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known

Signs in the street
That say where you're going
Are somewhere, just being there own

Nowhere is their warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain, gray town, known for it's sound
In places, small faces unbound

'Round the squares, huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalks scenes and black limousines
Some living, some standing alone


2. THE WALL OF DOLLS

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end

Frozen smiles and frowns
Lives of ups and downs
Aren't you, aren't we all
Part of the wall of dolls

Listen to the puppet clown
His tales might bring you down
Hang the dwarfs and trolls
Hang on the wall of dolls

This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end


3. THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR

This is the time of the year
That love is coming unexpectedly
Knocking on your door, begging to come in
Baby won't you spread your wings
Won't you come on down and follow me

And if you do, you're like an arrow
And I'm the only bow
Baby, baby, and I can shoot you higher
Than you would ever go

This is the time of the year (4x)

Thinking about you baby, baby baby
I see mountains flying
I hear dark woods sighing
My love is getting higher
Won't you come on down and follow me

This is the time of the year
And I dance with you on a silver string
And after feeling music
We both blink into the world
And I'm the only man
That could ever reach you

This is the time of the year (4x)


4. NOTHING CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD OF MINE

5. FROM HEAVEN FROM HELL

If there's a reason why you leave me
Then I like to hear it now
I'll simply bend my head
I won't cry out loud

I know all this time we spent together
Was not so important to you
You always knew, there would come a time
That I would sing my blues

And now you're playing with me
Like you're playing card
I'm losing before you start
You know every trick of every game
You look right through my heart

Oh woman, oh woman, you make it mine
Ah, ah, yeah, oh woman, oh woman
Oh yeah, you will be right at my door
Ah, ah, oh

You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell

Ooh and I would be a liar
If I'm telling you, that I don't give a damn
That you don't love me like I do
Oh babe, babe I'm begging you
I'm begging you down on my knees
Oh please stay some more time
I'd rather be dead than free
Alright you leave me all alone
I see the curtain fall
And while you softly close the door
It's your name I call

Oh woman, oh woman
Oh woman, oh woman, here right at my door
Yah, yah, yah, yeah, ah, ah, ah

Oh you're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell


6. BORN A SECOND TIME

When I was born a second time
There was no one who I called mine who cared
Mother said “my boy where have you been”
My father was a man I have never seen and knew
Stars were shining up above
I started to believe in love again
Now I know what made me feel so shy
Words I should say died when I saw you

Being in this situation
Thinking of a new relationship
Makes me feel that I'm no longer me
I'm surely not the one I used to be
It's you
Misty clouds around my head
I can't remember what you said to me

Born a second time is not enough
As long as it's not me you're thinking of
Hmmm, yeah


7. BIG TREE, BLUE SEA

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with wine and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

Paper castles, filled with words
Limbo policemen please the herd
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

I'm sun, I'm warm, I'm child of the moon
Even when it's dark, I'll send the dune
Can't you hear there's fishermen laughing
The whale dips down, I hear him crying for me
I'm shade, I'm good, I'm beams in June
Even when it's dark, I'll light your room
Don't you know the clown has feelings
Talking revolution, secret meetings, who's free
Who's free, free

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with blood and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

9. SAM AND SUE

(No lyrics available)


10. MUST I CRY

I'm lying on my back, dear, looking at the sky
Watching falling stars, they never tell you why
Oh why you let me sleeping in my warm and empty bed
While you were softly weeping after everything was said

Oh, even when I tried, dear, to be gentle, to be sweet
Oh, you kept on deceiving, being in doubt and that's not sweet
And falling from above, quickly down on the ground
Even so you're falling, like you have found

Is it time to laugh or must I cry?
I like you to be bold (?), they'll never tell you why
Is it time to laugh or must I cry?
I like you to be bold (?), you'll never know why


11. ALL DAY WATCHER

Well in a few more hours, and millions of people
Hate their alarm clock even more than their wives
The day is beginning, you can tell by the sunrise
People get ready for a day in their lives
They're getting together in the streets of the city
Like lost computers of a shattered tribe
They're all in a hurry, to be in time
Some for promotion, some to stay alive
Yeah, yeah

I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you

Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don't understand why they're all the same
I weigh pro's and con's, against their lives and mine
But I don't know, it's beyond my frame of mind
Beyond my frame of mind, yeah

Oh, in a few more minutes, and millions of people
Hear the whistle of freedom blowing through their head
They push and they hurry and the herd starts moving
They follow the trail back home again
Where they're taking it easy with a box of beer
Watching the late late show on color TV
And life ain't easy when you're livin' that way
But sometimes I wonder, maybe it's fun everyday
Yeah, yeah

I'm the all day watcher, that's all I do
I'm the all day watcher, I'm watching you


12. CIRCUS WILL BE IN TOWN IN TIME

Listen to what I try to tell you
You know, it's hard to say, it's hard
I'm going now to other places
Yes it's time that we will part

Oh, believe me, I can't stay longer
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
Maybe for you today it's raining
But your love won't be in vain

The horses, they're so impatient
And the clowns' wives are chattering in between
The variegated wagons, the sword swallower
Are all borne in the same magic scene

Oh believe me, I can't stay no longer
Oh I'm sorry for I see you feel pain
And maybe for you today it's raining
But your love won't be in vain

(Chorus)
Circus will be in town in time (3x)
Circus is waiting for departure time

Oh, baby, you know, I've got something to explain
The many countries I have seen
For five days, a fortnight, sometimes longer
And it seems, oh it seems, oh it seems
It's all a cosy company
And I do it only, only, only, only through
Oh, it's working hard for your money

(Chorus)


13. GIPSY RHAPSODY

We yearned from the fire till morning and then we fall down
Falling asleep, a-hearing no sound
Just let me sleep, oh gipsy guitar
Loved all the food in dishes, in silver and gold
And some of their wishes are looking sincere
Waiting for you, waiting for me

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Oh, play around, come on and join me
Play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all

And the air is covered in haze that drips on the wall
And if you look into the crystal ball
You should be happy to see me happy, oh yeah

Look around, come on and join me
Dance around, come on and join me
Oh play around, come on and tell me
You got no time for pleasure at all


14. I'M GOING TO SEND MY PIGEONS TO THE SKI

What's going on, what are we livin' for
When blood sticks to all people's door
What's going on, what are we livin' for
Drop down the curtain, who kills the war

I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly as a sigh

What's going on, what are we livin' for
Dream on prophets, these are dreams you ignore
What's going on, what are we livin' for
Awake from your blindness, see the score

I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly, high he high
I'm gonna send my pigeons to the sky
Where they can fly as a sigh


15. SEE SEE

He was the only key
She was the only door
What more could they please

Her eyes are ponds of blue
His wishes all came true
What was there to loose in the midnight

See, see, see, he said
Seagulls screamin' down in the morning sky
Gee, gee, gee, he said
Come on girl let's leave this world behind

But then, after weeks
The weeks they got weak
Little did they speak about the future
Her eyes still were blue
But thoughts soon got black
Time that he went back to where he came from

See, see, see, she said
Broken dreams fill the starless night
Gee, gee, gee, she said
And her tears were sparklin' bright in the mornin' light


16. I'VE JUST LOST SOMEBODY

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

Though I know that love ever happened this way
I'll be here untill she will return one day
Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream
